And more fish still on the NSW South Coast with Bruce Rayment’s PHGFC boat Avalon fishing The Banks on Sunday morning going 1-1-1 with a tagged 1.9m short length black marlin to Belinda Rayment on 24kg tackle in sloppy conditions. Bruce says that while some married couples go for coffee on a Sunday morning, some go marlin fishing! (I know we do too!)
And another married couple in on the action yesterday I saw that Chloe (She Fishes) and Tom Lawrence added two blacks as well as two stripes on their little boat fishing yesterday as well!
